Debt Crises and Sovereign Risk in Africa

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book examines the resurgence of debt crises in Africa following the Covid-19 pandemic. It deciphers the debt crisis phenomenon through the discourse of sovereign risk, which has been paid insufficient attention within the African context, and seeks to appreciate facets that continue to lead African states to a debt-default position.
